I'm a writer.

At the moment, I work for Hasbro (yes, the toy company) writing package copy and dreaming up names for toys. Before that I worked for 38 Studios, developing the Amalur IP and writing lore for the 38 family of websites. I also spent a decade making theater in New York City. I'm currently writing a science fiction novel set in a future Istanbul.
